Okay next episode from the previews it looks like we finally get to see Mikoto. Whether Mikoto is the cat or not we don't know but after everything that happens wouldn't be surprised. It also looks like the contract between Arika and Mashiro is going to become more official because you know the contract at first was just to save their hides and little by little we saw Arika acting more like her otome but nothing was official yet so that should be interesting. Finally, it looks like we will get more information about Shizuru and Tomoe in the next episode, hopefully. Although Sunrise could be the people they are and not reveal anything at all and just leave us hanging because their good at that too. Anyways can't wait for next episode.

I don't expect much from episode 21, I was never a Mikoto fan so her appearance won't factor in on my enjoyment, but hopefully with Mikoto's appearance, Mai's arrival will be soon at hand.

I wonder when Sergay's gonna discover who the new Shinso is. I also wonder what he'll do about it once he finds out. The final betrayal of the North Hound?

He certainly won't be happy once he find out, and he eventually will.
But I doubt he'll switch sides just because of that, Rena is already dead anyway.
It'll be a different case if they're experimenting on a still living Rena.

A better question, however, is what he will do once Nagi send him out with the Valkyries (and most likely Nina too) to capture Mashiro and Arika.

Well, Doremi says the title for next episode is "white princess, moment of awakening". If the white princess is Mashiro, from the preview it looks like she might grow further (and tremendously) and this time has Arika enter the master/otome bond for real. So that might be the main step forward: a Mashiro that takes action and becomes a real force for the remaining episode.

One of the preview screens for episode 21st has Arika kneeling before Mashiro and kissing her right hand; also could be that Arika is kissing the ring on Mashiro's finger. By doing so, both officially seal the Otome-Master contract.

... that harmonium thing is so confusing (colored circles) ... it almost looks like they intended for them to have those colors but eventualy changed they're minds but kept the initial color idea for the harmonium ... little bastardz ... don't make it too confusing ... anyway looks like more thing's about the harmonium are going to be revealed ... hope they don't make it like the "First district" thing in MH ... or did I miss something

Id just like to remind everyone that there are 6 episodes left and we still havent seen any massive fights. Considering theres supposed to be a war brewing, I find this odd and annoying.

Its always the same thing. They get interupted, or theres an explosing and cut to the aftermath (arika v nina, fia), etc. There doesnt look to be any fighting in this upcoming episode so they really got 5 eps to show us a tad of fighting.

So it looks like I was right when I posted a little 'timeline' of how things would turn out. I said we'd be lucky if they started the fighting in earnest by ep20. Theyd probably start in ep 24-26. Well we are not lucky.

Wait a minute....could it be? Could I be trying to say "I told you so?" Oh my the arrogance. The audacity of me to count my eggs before their hatched. Fighting by eps 24-26. Ha! We should consider ourselves lucky if there's a slap fight.
